“Well, I hope Uncle Lewis can start preparing as soon as possible. I hope the project can be completed within one year.” Finn Lewis considered for a moment before speaking seriously.

“One year? Are you kidding me?” Great Lewis said in surprise.

“I’m not joking! As long as there’s enough manpower, one year should be feasible!” Finn Lewis said seriously.

“Don’t worry about the manpower, even a few tens of thousands of workers can be easily hired. The real estate market is sluggish now, many large construction companies are idle and it’s easy to find a sufficient workforce from them.” Great Lewis immediately agreed.

“Alright then, I hope you can start preparing as soon as possible, Uncle Lewis. As for contacting the other construction companies, I hope you can help me with that. Now, Uncle Lewis, let me put it straight, you will set a base price for the project, like what it costs to carry it through at the lowest possible price, say 1 billion, I will pay you 1.3 billion. That is, I will make a provision for 30% profit for you. As for the negotiations with other companies, you will handle it, I don’t care; I will just pay you as per this profit margin. However, I have only one requirement,” Finn Lewis said seriously.

“Quality.” Before Finn said anything, Great Lewis guessed his words.

“Exactly, quality!” Finn Lewis nodded.

New materials and even new construction equipment can be used, but manpower is a problem that cannot be solved. Finn Lewis needs a group of skilled workers. He couldn’t afford so many t800s, even if he were to employ every available t800 from the other dimension, it would only total in the thousands. This is hardly sufficient for large-scale construction projects, unless he could massively employ t900s.

Unfortunately, t900s definitely cannot be exposed. So, if he wants to speed up construction, he must train his own workers, using his villa area for practicing.

It’s not exactly training, rather getting these workers familiar with some operating methods. Because the new materials Finn is using would undoubtedly require new equipment, as long as the worker is not amazed by the new equipment and can operate it, it will be fine.

“No problem, you can count on me for this.” Great Lewis nodded decisively.

Since Finn said that, and is reserving 30% of the profit, even though this profit margin seems not high, in fact, it’s quite high in the construction industry, especially for contractors, especially when the construction scale is very large, this profit margin signifies profits of tens of billions!

“Then, it’s a deal, we can talk about the contract later, Uncle Lewis, you can start preparing the budget first. Oh yes, regarding some related projects that you need to handle. Please give me your email address, I’ll send you a document tonight. Then you can work on the budget based on the scope of work mentioned in that document,” Finn Lewis nodded and spoke.

“Sure, can do. But if the construction period is one year, no matter what advanced technology you use, you should negotiate about the land first. You should know that land issues are the most crucial and can be dragged on for a long time,” Great Lewis advised.

“Hmm, I understand,” Finn Lewis nodded, “Then, I won’t trouble you further, I have other matters to attend to, I will leave now.” Finn Lewis stood up and spoke.

Great Lewis didn’t stop him. After Finn Lewis left, looking at the shadow of Finn’s car, Great Lewis couldn’t help but shake his head. Is this the legendary character of a tycoon? The way he spends money is definitely unique.

Finn Lewis has been really busy recently. Even though he went to Great Lewis’s birthday party just to make an appearance and held a business talk. However, after he left, Finn Lewis received a text message from Emma Lewis, it had only two words: Thank you.

Finn Lewis wasn’t sure anymore how he felt about young Emma Lewis. He scratched his head, but didn’t reply to her message, because he was too busy.

After the weekend’s three-day ticket sales, Finn Lewis met someone from the entertainment industry, and not from China, it’s the Production Manager from HQ Company. HQ is considered to be Finn’s strategic partner now since they have shown up, naturally important negotiations are in order. Moreover, the benefits for Finn from this arrangement are larger.

“…actually, Mr. Lewis, we didn’t come here just because you have the technology. There are more reasons related to Activision BF as well.” The HQ representative was not Ryan Donna, whom Finn Lewis had met before, undoubtedly she was the CEO of HQ and didn’t have the time to conduct this negotiation outside.

This time Temel, a middle-aged man, was responsible for the negotiation.

“Activision BF?” Finn Lewis seemed surprised, wondering how this matter was related to BF.

“Yes, Mr. Lewis, we want to use your game technology, of course, not just for the present game technology. I admit, the game footage from your company has achieved considerable success in cinema and the box office is quite impressive. The technology, of course, is more advanced, but there is one major problem, which is regarding the characters and some of the scenes in the game. So, we want to use another method,” Temel explained.

“What method?”

“We want to collaborate with you to produce a movie, strictly speaking, we are already in a partnership with you, Mr. Lewis, because this movie is being made for Activision BF,” Temel continued.

“Ah, you mean Monster World.” Finn Lewis suddenly realized. Many years ago when he was a player, he heard that Activision BF planned to shoot movies in the Monster Series. But because of the technology limitations and other reasons, it ultimately fell through. Now the technology is matured, and HQ has taken up this task.

“Yes, Monster World, Mr. Lewis, you must know that Monster World and your game’s status are the same. So, we want to record your game’s scene, after watching your movie, I have great confidence in the technology used in your game’s scenes, but ordinary game servers can’t do it. I hope your company can open a special server for us.”
